I doubt Iku will need gems once Heaven's back in place so we should trade off extras now before we get to the end boss. Unless you think Remilia might take a bribe Kilga?
Also, I think we should pick up the Marbles out of usefullness principle.

This actually solves my original plan of what to do with the gems by finding a home for the fourth one. I want to give one to Tenshi, one to Shuuei, and keep one for ourselves as a keepsake. If Rinnosuke wants the fourth, he can have it.

The sand might be nice for Iku, since it's a valuable in a way that's far from materialistic. I'm not seeing too much that I can think of as valuable to what we're trying to do.

Shadoweh · « **Reply #619 on:** February 26, 2011, 01:05:11 AM »

I was hoping for sands of time somewhere :3 I think we should get the slipweed, the marbles and the abomination doll for sure. If we get the sleeping powder and the caramels or some other food we can peacefully take out guards and Meilings. Didn't Iku lose her Celestial Shawl somewhere? Actually.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #620 on:** February 26, 2011, 01:15:53 AM »

The Shawl in the shop was there before we "lost" ours (we tied Shuuei up with it, who knows where it is now) and we picked up another one this morning, which we should still have.

Shadoweh · « **Reply #621 on:** February 26, 2011, 01:17:21 AM »

This is Rinnosuke you know. The one in the shop could be ours..
Edit: Oh learn to read me. It's probably not ours then unless Yukari gaps items through time for him.

I don't see anything for shadows here either. Oh, I agree with the sand. Go ahead and do the trading, if the gem isn't enough you can probably trade the box itself for something.
